This instructional audiobook, the sports psychologist's first, offers familiar advice on how disciplined practice, pre-performance routines, managing expectations, and a good team perspective impact what we get from ourselves when it counts. Narrator Eric Summerer’s pleasing tone and straightforward clarity contribute to a delivery that is without fussiness, but his performance does little to help the inspirational energy and wisdom the author tries to communicate. It’s a good narration, but one that focuses on vocal mechanics at the expense of color and personality. At least in audio format, the slurry of directives and principles comes across in scattershot fashion, rather than being organized around a limited number of powerful, memorable ideas.
